Do your cars wobble down the track? NS-level derailments, B-in-Ts, and general Tycoistic behavior? HTF wrecks haunting your modelling dreams and your locomotive budget? Ready to end it all in an Addams Family Op Session? This clinic will explore the simple tasks, in adjusting car bolsters, couplers (with a heavy dose of Kadee propaganda), and JMRI resistor placement and installation, needed to lessen these problems, and improve your operations, to at least Penn Central levels. The clinic is conducted in HO scale, but most techniques can be used in other scales, N scale especially.
